NASCAR and Monster Energy announced a multi-year agreement for the premier series entitlement as well as the prestigious annual NASCAR All-Star Race. Monster Energy, which will begin its tenure as naming rights partner on Jan. 1, 2017, will become only the third company to serve as the entitlement sponsor in NASCAR premier series history, following RJ Reynolds and Sprint/Nextel.

Michigan International Speedway has teamed up for a special ticket package with seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson for the FireKeepers Casino 400 on June 18 and the Pure Michigan 400 on August 13.

Jimmie Johnson made history Nov. 20 at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a record-tying seventh championship in NASCAR's premier series. Just over a week removed from the accomplishment, the spirit of celebration is still going, but with a fitting change of venue.

Jimmie Johnson joined NASCAR’s most exclusive club on Sunday, winning the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim his seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship, putting the driver of the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on par with icons Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
